To in? "'71 0711 if mu nun-( 0771 Be it lcnmvn that I- Eran]: IBAum. a citizen of the United States. residing at Philadelphia. in the county of Philadelphia andStatc 5 of lt-zmsvlvania. have invented certain Improni-ments in Lubricating Apparatus. of \vhit .he following is a specification.

Th' invention reiates to apparatus for antomati ally lubricating l warings: and it is designed. primarily. to provide improved means for c (net-ting Iubricatm's to journal -boxes. being adapted for application to boxes of standard type.

In the accompanyu drawings, Figure 1 lt1*!t} .i.i. a perspective view of an embodiment of the invention. parts being broken for the purpose'of illustrating the con- .ion: and Fig. 2 rrt'presentsa vertical secview of the sannL-lmlded to a journal.

ianvn in the drz't'a'ings, the bearing-cap the journal 2 has a receptacle 3. to which the lubricator-L i secured by the couplin 5. the Iubricator tea-ding into the receptaclc. which communicates with the journal through the hole 6.

The coupling has the depending portion 7 seatel in and the flange 6 resting on the receptacle. The coupling and receptacle are socured together by the angle-bolts 9. which lie within and pass outwardly through receptacle and fiange. The respective bolts. have the must and 11 exterior to-the construction. the seat for the nuts 10 being cut down l)(.ln\\ the top of the coupling.

The lubricatt)r-reserroir 1:2 has its base 13 seated on the coupling and extending over the nuts 1 A well 1%. which depends from the base-and conmiunimttcs with the reservoir. is

seated in thcapcrture I5 of thocoupling; The J Iubrimtor is provided with a lug 1G, and the coupling is provided with a lug 17, through which is passed a bolt 15 to secure them to- 1 g -tiaer. The reservoir, covered by the lid 15 ha held therein the cross-bar ZU. tofavhich IIIP 1-3I1IZZ1 1S ad ustabiy connected by beena nut :23. A coiled spring 2-]: has its upper end connected with the stern and itslower end connected with the ball-valve 2f). the spring passing through the well and holding the valve in the desired relation to its seat 26 to control the passage of the lubricant through the'port '27 in the bottom of the well.

It will be seen from the foregoing description that the improvements provide a simple and inexpensive means for rcadiigt' applying and securely connecting an automatic lubri' cator to a standard form of journal-box; the lubricant being fed from the 'r *rvoir and well through the port leading therefrom atthe rate determined by the adjustment of the valve and thence through the oil-hole in the bottom of the bearing-cap to the journal.

IIaving described my invention. I claim--- 1. In a lubricating apparanw. a journalbox. a coupling seated on said hi )X. and a reservoir seated on said coupling. said reservoir having a well extending through said coupling. substantially as specified.

In a lubricating apparatus. a journalbox. a coupling fixed to said box, a reservoir fixed to said coupling, said couplin having an aperture therein through which a lubricant-is fed from aid reservoir to said box. and means for automatically feeding a luln'icant from said reservoir through said aperture into said box. substantially as specified. I

3. In a Iubricator, a box, a coupling seated on said box,v an angle-bolt engaging said box and coupling, and lubricating mechanism fixed to said coupling, substantially as specifiezl.

4. In a Iubricator, acoupling having an aperture therethrough, a reservoir having adepending well seated in said aperture. said well having a port therei'mand a spring-supported valve controlling said port. sub:tantiaII as specified.

5. In a lubricator, a coupling having an ap erture therein and a lug thereon. a reservoir having a well seated in the aperture of said I coupling and a lug registering with the lug of with said coupling, and means for fastening said lugs together, substantially as specified.
